This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for a multi-period location-allocation problem in an organ transplant supply chain. Considering the objective function as a minimization of the total costs can elevate the efficiency of the presented supply chain network. The significance of applicability of the model is demonstrated by numerical examples and a sensitivity analysis inspired by a real-case study in Iran.
